For those that think Manning being a Broncos isn't a good thing for whatever reason...answer me this....I.m curious because I think if you can sign Manning, you sign him...even at 80% he's better than 90% of the NFL's QB's right now.

How bad is Tebow in the minds of Elway, Fox, etc. that they would go out and try to sign this alleged washed up, injury prone, former shell of himself, big ego,one hit away from a wheelchair, choke artist, and old QB?

How bad do they think Tebow really is if they believe Manning is the better option?

Which means they better sign Manning since they had stated Tebow was the starter going into camp and apparently were not telling the truth, so Tebow is all but gone now whether Manning signs or not.

What happens in two/three years when Manning and said FA retire (Wayne, Saturday etc.) and we have nothing to show for the last three years?

We probably don't have a QB, if Elway is going all out on Manning then he needs to give him some talent, you can't waste 1st round/2nd round picks on QBs.

and what happens if we don't sign Manning and Tebow does not develop into even a moderately tolerable QB? Are we any better off that way? No.

How about this scenario...we sign Manning and draft a QB next year...he serves his apprenticeship under Manning's tutelage for the next two years, and by the time Manning does retire, we have his replacement. Is that not a plausible scenario?
